Dr. Murtha is an amazing man who is a doctor. He makes himself available through mychart with responses to any concern typically within 1 business day with responses on Sunday as well. His dedication is outstanding. There are just not enough good things I can say about him.
The team is always great to work with and Dr. Murtha listens and is so knowledgeable about my condition. He has been wonderful to work with the past few years.
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Murtha. Excellent bedside manner. He really took time to listen to me and answer my questions fully. He didn't make me feel rushed at all. As a nurse myself I understand how busy things are, so I really appreciate the care and concern he showed me. Very friendly front desk and rooming staff as well. Thank you and keep up the phenomenal work.
Dr. Murtha is the absolute best. I highly recommend him
It was a short wait and the nurse was kind. The PA was thorough and informative, the doctor performed a full review and we discusses options.
Dr Murtha is wonderful. So kind and compassionate. He just doesn't quit until he finds something that works for each patient. He's is the best neurologist that I have ever had in all the years that I have suffered from migraine (nearly 30 years and many physicians)
He really spend the time to listen to her problems. Really seemed to care.
The doctors an amazing person. Takes time to address all concerns and cares. All the nurses and staff are also great people.
Dr Murtha and his staff are great I think he would be a good teacher to other students or staff that is going into the field. I give two thumbs up
The Dr seemed to care for my problems and listened very carefully to what I said.He explained very clearly what had to be done and scheduling tests and physical therapy.
Love him, he's a compassionate doctor
It was so busy that day the wait was way longer than usual. Dr Martha ended up coming to the door to call me inside, because he didn't want me to wait any longer. At the end of my appointment he said he'd look for a nurse to take my vitals and if he couldn't find one he'd take them himself. He is one of the best doctors I've been to!
It took almost a year to see my doctor. He was friendly, professional and listened to me.He took time to explain things to me, made sure I understood the new course of action and new meds. He put me at ease and I felt like he really cared and wanted to help me.
